Xiao Ling's index finger tapped the chair handle, then suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on the city lord.
"Lord of Hua City, I remember that you have a grandson who is currently in Taihe City, right!?" Any official who is sent abroad must leave a hostage in the capital for the emperor to take control of, so that he can safely handle matters for him.
It has nothing to do with trust or distrust, it’s just that when facing huge wealth and power, no one wants to verify that loyalty. Therefore, it has resulted in a common phenomenon. The higher the status, the more they care about a certain person.
The less likely they are to show it. They may even show the exact opposite... Just like in the palace, the more they care about someone, the less likely they are to pamper them.
She could see it in the palace. The more harshly someone is pampered, the harder it will be. Those who are pampered and live a good life are those who have means and ability. Those who have no ability will die faster the more they are pampered.
.Don't believe the sweet words of the emperor, let alone believe that the emperor will protect you. If he really protects you, he won't put you in a group of crazy women with jealous eyes and red eyes, always ready to stretch out their fangs.
before.
"What do you want?" When the city lord heard this, his expression immediately changed. That was his grandson, the only one, at least on the surface, he was the only one.
Xiao Ling shook his finger at him: "Don't worry, your grandson was left to your emperor, so I won't touch it. But... I think you must have other grandsons." This is not a question.
Sentence. Would a person who can be the lord of a city be stupid?
Maybe he is greedy and greedy, but he is definitely not a fool.
"I happen to have a medicine here that can make people speak the truth. Maybe the city lord can try its taste for me to see if it tastes like the cherry I imagined." Xiao Ling said with a smile and waved his hand towards Linghu.
Linghu immediately smiled, took out a pill, and forced the city lord into his mouth.
"You, you devil." It will take some time for the medicine to take effect, but the medicine entering the mouth is enough to scare the city lord.
"How can you say that!" Xiao Ling didn't want to take advantage of this reputation: "Your emperor did the same thing, how dare you call him a devil? You must also thank him and call him a saint, right? I
If you do the same thing today, you should also thank me."
"You are a devil, don't, don't touch my grandson. If you have any means, just come at me." The city advocate showed his teeth and claws, but unfortunately, he didn't have the strength. Even if he showed his teeth and claws, he looked like a sick cat.
"What's the use of touching you? I know that people like you are not afraid of death. And in Luoyan City, we can't live without you!!" At this point, Xiao Ling rubbed his hands slightly.
Eyebrow. When the little person is made, he is indescribably cute, but the words he says are...
It's really like the devil: "Only your grandson, the one you love the most, can make you obedient. Well, maybe wait a moment and ask you what you care about most. This will avoid hurting innocent people... Don't worry, I
I won’t hurt the people you care about, as long as you obey me.”
"What exactly do you want me to do? You said, I will definitely listen to you. No, no... don't touch my grandson..."
Xiao Ling just smiled. Even if the city lord behaves like this now, she can't believe it. What he really cares about is his grandson! Therefore, she will not agree to anything. She will only wait for the medicine to take effect.
